A Stratford real estate agent has scaled back a proposed residential development.
A Stratford real estate agent has scaled back a proposed residential development from 26 townhomes to 14 single-family homes following opposition from neighbors and zoning officials.
Richard P. Brown, a Stratford resident and Re/Max real estate agent, is now seeking approval to build 13 new single-family homes on a 2.27-acre parcel at 1245 Cutspring Road while retaining an existing single-family house on the property.
Brown
last year proposed a denser 26-unit townhome development, which required a zoning change because the property sits in a one-family residential district that only permits detached single-family homes.
After concerns were raised about the project’s scale and traffic impacts, Brown returned with a revised plan that complies with existing zoning, eliminating the need for a zone change.
“It just worked for everybody that had objections to it,” Brown said.
Brown said the revised proposal would generate roughly half the traffic of the original plan.
The Stratford Zoning Commission is scheduled to continue a public hearing on the application May 27.
